Composition
Most of the instrumentals on Infection involve an abrasive amount of kicks and bass. The drum patterns usually consist of a bunch of kicks coming in at the end of them, for comedic effect. This is prominently heard on tracks such as "Hit with The Mac" and "We Wanted Sweet Victory".

Some vocal samples are also used on this album, such as Yoko Ono, Blueface, & 6ix9ine.
